Jimmy Henchman Continues To Snitch.. Claims He Loaned Wyclef Drug Money
Wyclef Jean’s relationship with James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond was introduced as evidence in Rosemond’s federal cocaine trial yesterday (May 22).
Rosemond is accused of organizing and leading a $10 million-a-year cocaine operation, that imported hundreds of kilograms of cocaine into New York, while sending millions to the west coast.
Rosemond was a well-known urban executive, who managed artists like Game, Gucci Mane, Sean Kingston, Mario Winans, Brandy, Mike Tyson and others.
Over the years, Rosemond has enjoyed a cozy relationship with fellow Haitian, Wyclef Jean.

In March of 2011, both Wyclef Jean and Rosemond helped organize a concert for future Haitian President Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly. Rosemond also supported Wyclef’s run for President of Haiti in 2010.
But during the trial, prosecutors introduced an October 13, 2011 Proffer Agreement, where Rosemond met with authorities in hopes of ultimately reaching a Cooperation Agreement with prosecutors. During the session on October 13, Rosemond admitted to a number of illegal activities.
He admitted that 80% to 90% of his income was funded by drug money, and that he laundered the cocaine money through a variety of means.
Rosemond said that he paid for his Brooklyn condominiums renovations with drug money, as a way of laundering the money, in addition to a number of other means.
Rosemond told authorities during the session that he bought a Bentley that was eventually sold to an individual named “Shakim” for “clean money,” without the purchaser’s knowledge.
He also admitted that he gave Wyclef Jean $60,000 in cash from drug proceeds as a loan, with out Wyclef’s knowledge.
The government also said they began investigating Rosemond and Wyclef’s business dealings, after Rosemond received over $800,000 in checks associated companies controlled by Wyclef Jean and his tour manager.
In a blockbuster admission, Rosemond claimed that he had regularly sold Wyclef’s driver “E” a number of kilograms if coke.
In an October 17, 2011 session with the government Rosemond also admitted that the first two shipments of drugs and money were sent to Interscope records, while subsequent shipments of the illegal contraband went to rehearsal spaces in Los Angeles.
The only reason Rosemond did not receive a Cooperation Agreement with the government, was because they caught him in several lives. After meeting with prosecutors a total of nine times, the deal was taken off the table when prison authorities found Rosemond with a live cell phone in his jail cell. An agent testified that Rosemond was exchanging texts with a Mexico area code.
Eventually the government found out that Rosemond was talking to his brother Mario, who was also charged in the case and was a fugitive from justice at the time. Testimony continues off this week.

The dope game is dead.
Sheeeeit. Bring a half a ton over here, sell it, then say that. The game is dead for street level dealers but as long as those drugs are illegal, there’s profit in it. Pills and the heroin been popping off tuff for the past 5 years. Coke been messed up since 9/11. Not speaking from experience.
real talk , but the prices its selling at now its hard not trying to move a little your self crazy profits right now can be made with the coke
When u in the game u already know what the end gonna be so u hv to take the bad with the “good” u received from the game but from my experiences dboys are some of the most shady people I know not too many stand up guys in that biz
how stand up can you be selling death to other people.
Swat the world is shady. Not just dboys. This is what happens when u deal with new ni ggas and not family or life long friends that would rather die then turn there loved one in to face the same fate. Rivals also think twice before killing a dealer that has cousins or uncles that are also in the game. Some don’t rat though and I respect that. This dude here is a disgrace.
actually moor thats not true..Brothers have been snitching on brothers for centuries. When faced with hard time most bitch out. Gangsta and all that fake crap dudes will do anything not to get that bid. You can never know what someone is thinking family or close friend when faced with 30 years or life in prison loyalty goes out the window. Some dudes might not snitch but many do trying to cop lienency on their sentence
